Crash Course Spanish Classes with Renny start on a Thursday May 2 thru June 6th 2024, two days a week (Mon. & Thurs.) It is a six-week class. This is a fun easy class. If there is any practice or homework, those with busy schedules will love having the option of doing them by email or Whats Ap at their convenience. _________________________ COST: $199 As many people know, Renny, a degreed professional, owned a language school in David under contract with the Panamanian Government giving classes for them, and also had one in Houston. She is now offering several levels of Spanish classes in Boquete, Basic Level,and Intermediate. These are professional instructions with an easy, clear curriculum and the correct sequencing of material. Location of the class is in Boquete All of the Spanish Classes are called Crash Course Spanish **** The first Basic class meets Mondays and Thursdays 9:30 a.m. - 11:30 The Basic Classes will get you speaking fast! It shows how the language is organized, and teaches the tricks of the language, the basics: pronunciation, some important cultural notes, phrases, vocabulary, speaking; fluid short conversations, how to ask and answer questions. You will practice and share tips, create full sentences, and learn this trick, how to speak without conjugating verbs. Workbook is included. The Crash Course Intermediate Class **Class meets Mondays and Thursdays 1:00 p.m. - 3:15 p.m. You will USE your acquired Spanish language! You will speak in class, get tips for learning to listen and respond, you will have short exchanges, pronounce the difficult, role play, learn word order, expand your vocabulary, and engage in specialized classes to gain better listening skills. You will speak every day, learn a higher use of some verbs without conjugating, create interesting sentences, listen to songs, conduct interviews, and give short speeches. Learn by doing. Each student will translate for someone. It's time to do better at understanding what Spanish speakers are saying BECAUSE… the class also engages in "Train your ear” as well as “Practicing Speaking”, all of this as you learn more and more Spanish fast; you build the confidence you need to converse with others. Workbook is included. Pre-requisite for the **Intermediate Class : you MUST be at the intermediate level of speech, no exceptions **Intermediate Class To enter this class the following will describe your level of speech: You respond to simple, direct questions or requests for information, can ask a few questions concerning needs and wants, and are able to express personal meaning by relying heavily on learned or re-combined phrases, repeating, or rephrasing what you hear around you. You know short and sometimes incomplete sentences in the present tense. At times you know you state things incorrectly but gain confidence because the Spanish speaker “got” what you were trying to say. You may be hesitant or inaccurate, whereby frequent misunderstandings arise. When called upon to handle a variety of topics and perform serious functions you operate at about a 40% to 50% success range, and can sometimes respond in intelligible sentences, but cannot sustain full sentence exchanges. You know the meanings/translations (not the conjugations) of at least 75 verbs.

The purpose of Boquete Bulk Organics is to collectively acquire organic dry goods at the most reasonable prices possible, and with the smallest carbon footprint. We are a Buying Club, and a lifetime membership in BOBC is only $10. Membership is necessary to cement our status as a club, distinguishing us from retail stores. Why We Are Here The Bulk Organics Buying Club is here to make Organic foods as available as possible for any and all who want them. Health is food based. There is no point in following a diet to improve health, if you’re eating a poisoned version of a recommended food. So, in the age old tradition of conscientious consumers, we started a BUYING CLUB! We help ourselves get what we need and want, we minimise our environmental footprint, what we pay in corporate profits, and we can help our community grow into the future needs of its residents. How We Do It All members contribute to the list of what we want made available here. Some purchase full containers, but most leave part of what they order to share with others. If we want rye flour, we will get a bag knowing you want only 5# of it, but also that many of us use rye flour sporadically, if not regularly. The excess is stored in The Pantry and used by other members until it is gone and reordered. Through this process we have acquired an impressive inventory, available for purchase by any member at any time we’re open. We also provide fresh coconut products weekly, that you pre-order, and the means to order items from La Casa del Cerdo in David and have them delivered to the pantry for pick-up. Please visit our website for our full inventory, hours, map link and means for contact; follow us on Facebook for updates, new products. You can also search for us on Google Maps! Stop by The Pantry! I would love to see you! And please bring clean containers to use or provide for others! -- Jane Moodie Website: https://boquetebobc.com/ WhatsApp: +507 6789-6395 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/boquetebobc Google Maps
